THE OASHlNG VOLUNTEER.
She Runs Away From the Other Big SIoops
in the Gold Cup Race.

in the Gold Cup Race.
NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 6-The yacht race
for the Goelet cup was sailed Friday, and
was principally notable as the first trial for a
prize of the new ''siugle-stickern Volunteer,
the yacht built to defend the AIuer1ca cup
against the Scotch yacht Thistle nov on its
way across the Atlantic. The course sailed
was a triangular one OF forty miles, and gave
opportunity to observe tue work with the
wind in three different directions in relation
to the courses of the yachts. First there was
long beat to windward of nineteen miles,
then u run before the wind Of four and one
half miles, and last u reach OF seventeen
miles
There were twenty one yachts in the race,
including the Sachem, Ttania, Be,iouin,
Stranger, Oracle, aud the five big slooIs
Volunteer, May flower, Puritan, Atlantic aud
Priscilla. The chief interest in the race was
OF course, the conduct of the new sloop Vol
unteer, and she fully justified the expeeta-
tons of her owner and designer.
The yachts all got off at l0:l5, the Puritan
crossing the line first and holding the lead un
til the first turn in the course at the Sow and
Pigs, when the Volunteer passed TO the front
and got big lead, which she held to the
finish, and, indeed, increased The Volun-
teer was one of the last over the line, and
she crossed at the finish eight minutes ~
seconds ahead of the Mayfower.
The wind was good during the whole race,
so that thereNvas one point in which American
yachts have always excelled-that of drifting
with ii light wind-in which the race did not
give test of the Volunteers capacity. In
every other point her performance was highly
gratifying and gave evidence that the Thistle
will have to str her stumIn' if she carries
the America cup back with her next month

musty records of the office, participated in the

Her second marriage lnvaldated her right TO a
pension as the widow of Benjamin Stevens. but
the State of New Hampshire subsequently
granted her an allowance of 81 week for the
remainder of her natural life. About eight years
ago Congress further increased this by the ad-
dition of $l6 month. to be paid to her as a

Webster. an honorably discharged Union SOL
der and lately a clerk of Glass l in the ap-
praiser's Office in the Chicago custom house. 1t
Is stated that the Collector, at the time he de.
manded Mr. Webster's resignation. said TO HIM
that there were no charges against his record
that he knew him to be efficient clerk and
faithful public servant. but that he must have
his place-that the outside pressure for place was
overwhelming and that the Democratic party,
having been out of power twenty five years,
was clearly entitled to the Offices. and for this
reason alone he must insist upon Mr..
Webster's resignation. 1t is further stated
that Mr.. Webster rendered his resignation
CURED but not as viewed by the Collector, in
sufficiently respectful manner: that ir his letter
Of resignation he omitted prefix to the collect
prs name the title Honorable" as is customary
and proper, and that he was therefore compelled
TO write out another letter of resignation, the
same being dictated by the collector. To all of
these charges and specifications Collector Sea
burger makes positive denial, save as to the
one that he requested Mr.. Webstsr's resignation;
that the substance and spirit of his interview
and communications with Mr.. Webster are mis-
stated and exaggerated. At recent meeting of

PUNISHlNG 4 PRIEST.
One of Or. McGlynn's Friends Incurs the Dis
pleasure of Arch bishop COrrigaa.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
New YORK, April 1.-The Mail and Express
says that Father Curran, the former assistant
pastor at ST. Stephens Church, has been sent to
the monastery at Hoboken to do ten days pen
ance, because he spoke at the McCilynn meeting
at Jones's Wood and was on the platform of the
Academy of Music, last Monday night, during
Dr. McGlynns address the Gross of the New
Crusade" 1t was stated at the archiepscopa
palace. to-day. that Father Curran's punishment
was for countenancing a suspended priest vho is
in contumacy to the head of the church The
Arch bishop it was further stated. hoped that
this retirement of Dr. Curran may serve
as warning to the disaffected parishioners
of st. Stephens who iIterfered with the priests
of that church in the exercises of their ecclesi-
astical functions, as those who SO interfere may
incur accommodation. II was further said
that it would be we'll for the disaffected par
ishioners to be slow in their condemnns this
action OF the Archbishop. as he has knowledge
of things which are certainly unknown to them.
This is interpreted to mean that the Pope is sup
porting the Archbishop in his action.
The announcement of DR.. Currans punish
ment has revived the excitement among the peo-
pie of ST. Stephens parish. The news did not
reach them until late in the day, but word was
quickly passed around that mass meeting
would be held tonight to protest against the
disgrace of priest because Of his friendship for
DIR. McGynn.
The meeting was held tonight at Assembly
Hail. Archbishop Corriean's name was greeted
by Kisses and eroans. number of indignant
speeches were made.
DR.. Curran entered upon his tendays'
penance this afternoon. 1t is said that
all the Catholic clergvmen who were on the
platform with Dr. McGlynn. on Tuesday night.
have been warned by the Arch bishop that a
repetition of such an offense will lead to dis
culinary measures. The gentlemen were among
the leading priests of the city.

Vicious and Dangerous Character of the

The revival Of prosperity I the West has
taken the form of the widest description of real
estate speculation. or the essentially false,
vicious and dangerous character of these opera
tons 1t is not possible to say too much They
are based on neither sense, reason nor the pos.
